Psychiatry Pseudo-science?

I may feel psychiatry is a soft-science (primarily due to the qualitative nature), but not even I go so far as to call it a pseudo-science. Tom Cruise, however, uses his pseudo-religion to justify it.


"Before I was a Scientologist, I never agreed with psychiatry," Cruise said. "And when I started studying the history of psychiatry, I understood more and more why I didn't believe in psychology. ... And I know that psychiatry is a pseudo science."

Disputing the effectiveness of antidepressants generally, Cruise said, "all it does is mask the problem." He added, "There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance."
